In correct English one would state fully, completely written in X.

Modern stacks are seldom pure blood language X, thus if 5% of it is written in Y, the product is written in a mix of X and Y.

Which I also mentioned on my comment, "Yep, they aren't pure C#", naturally overseen when one intends to champion its language as "Year of Desktop Linux" on IT infrastructures.

Playing games with the commonly accepted meaning of words is a known sophism.

The Linux kernel is 0.2% of shell scripts, yet no one would say it's written in shell. Same for windows or sql server. .Net is marginal there.

Btw I do code in Go, but I mostly use go apps and enjoys their small memory footprint and ease of deployment.

I must not be the only one as I see go apps pretty much everywhere in ops teams.
